Mon 8/6/2001 12:15p | Fabulous article! I have never visited Encounter since I don't live in California, but it looks terrific. I love all that camped up 60's sci-fi/spy stuff. Why can't new Tomorrowland be like this?
I'm pleased that Googie architecture is now well recognised as an important part of Southern California's heritage and I hope that as much as possible of what remains of it can be preserved. As was said in the article, it symbolises optimism. |

Walt Disney Imagineering designed the interior. |

It sounds like you are pretty good friends with Mr. Sotto, which must be quite an adventure. He sounds like a fascinating person! I'll have to go check out "Encounter" sometime. It sounds weird, but cool.
Looking forward to hearing lots from you as DisneySea revs up.

I was so impressed with the Space Mountain music at Disneyland, both for the music itself and how it fit into the ride and Tomorrowland as a whole. Now after reading about this restaurant it makes perfect sense. I wish he still worked for Disney, even if only as a consultant. |
